    x86/vmx: Improvements to LBR MSR handling
    
    The main purpose of this patch is to only ever insert the LBR MSRs into the
    guest load/save list once, as a future patch wants to change the behaviour 
of
    vmx_add_guest_msr().
    
    The repeated processing of lbr_info and the guests MSR load/save list is
    redundant, and a guest using LBR itself will have to re-enable
    MSR_DEBUGCTL.LBR in its #DB handler, meaning that Xen will repeat this
    redundant processing every time the guest gets a debug exception.
    
    Rename lbr_fixup_enabled to lbr_flags to be a little more generic, and use 
one
    bit to indicate that the MSRs have been inserted into the load/save list.
    Shorten the existing FIXUP* identifiers to reduce code volume.
    
    Furthermore, handing the guest #MC on an error isn't a legitimate action.  
Two
    of the three failure cases are definitely hypervisor bugs, and the third is 
a
    boundary case which shouldn't occur in practice.  The guest also won't 
execute
    correctly, so handle errors by cleanly crashing the guest.
